    Maybe instead of investing in that camera, you could invest in a faster computer. :-)

      Gee, don't you think that's a bit extreme? just use RFID tags like the rest of us, they're like 1 cent apiece now.

    Wireless communications are impossible! The Koran tells me so! It is a fabrication of the American TV news media! I triple guarantee you there is no such thing as electromagnetic waves! Lies!

    I'd like to set one of these up at the local Best Buy just to find out who would actually buy one of these. Um ... I think I'll mail order mine.

    This product should be re-named "Dial-A-Porn". Charge people by the call to call it up and find out what's happening . . . oooh look I think I see a leg in that shot!

    Imagine the rash of car accidents when iFriends and other adult entertainers take to the road.

    It's one thing to be on the alert for soccer moms who don't check their blind spot before changing lanes.
    It's another thing entirely to have distracted drivers watching hot lesbian amateur action in passing Camaros.

    Guess it's best for me to stay home and watch the "road report" from my PC.
    On a GSM phone, of course. :-)

    Fake Nokia cam-phone ad

    This is for the cam-phone, not the phone-cam, but it's damn funny, unless you like cats.
